Fully agree. The academia gatekeeping in certain fields hasn’t served us well over the last decade or so.

Fresh ideas from individuals with experience from all walks of life should be entertained. Doesn’t mean they’ll be followed.

Furthermore, DOGE has no actual power administratively, really all they can do is advise. Congress would need to grant them power first. Saagar Enjeti gas a good take on this, he’s pretty well versed in Washington-Speak

I enjoyed his recent conversation with Lex, but I lost quite a bit of respect for his opinion on politics when he called the Cambridge Analytica scandal nonsense.

The DOGE guys + Executive branch will try to get the Supreme Court to rule that the phrase "take care" in the Constitution means that the President has the power to fire any government employee at any time.
